We developed a procedure to compare yearling weight ratios of a calf
crop when the calves have been on different management or feeding regimes
This procedure will also produce more meaningful sire and dam summaries.

When calcium chloride was added to a mixture of minerals and urea in molasses, the minerals had not settled after the mixture was shipped 350 miles and stored 4 weeks. Calcium carbonate added to a similar supplement caused ...

Burning and fertilizing treatments on six Bluestem pastures were evaluated
by comparing performance of spring-calving cows and calves that grazed them. Two control pastures were not burned or fertilized, two pastures

The reproductive performance of a herd of Polled Hereford cows was evaluated over an eight year period. Culling cows the first time they were open would not have improved the future calving rates in this herd. The cost of ...

We found no advantage for creep feeding calves for either all summer
or 37 days prior to weaning. All calves were with their dams on native pasture. Calves not creep fed or creep fed only 37 days before weaning

Three trails used 264 steers to evaluate the effects of 36 mg zeranol (Ralgro) and 20 mg estradiol benzoate plus 200 mg progresterone (Synovex-S) implants on performance of steers during one growing and two finishing ...

Thirty-nine Angus, Hereford, and part Simmental bulls were tested 140

Eighty-three cows were each treated with a nine-day Syncro-mate B
ear implant and one estrogen and progesterone injection. After implant removal, cows were artificially inseminated either 48, 54 or 60 hours later or 12 ...

Chianina-X steers gained consistently during a 151-day finishing test and produced high yielding carcasses with 0.06 in. fat and 1.71 square of loin per hundred pounds of carcass. Average USDA quality grade was between ...

Bulls on summer test gained faster than those on winter test. Breeds from Continental Europe were taller at the shoulder and gained faster than British breeds. Older bulls that were lighter at the start of the test gained ...

In ruminants fed high grain rations, a condition called polioencephalomalacia
(PEM), characterized by central nervous system derangement, can develop.
It usually is noninfectious, responds to thiamin injections, and is ...

Nine pastures totaling 492 acres were summer grazed by yearling Hereford
steers. Five pastures were burned April 24, 1974; four were not burned.
Burned and nonburned pastures had 0, 40, or 80 lbs. of nitrogen per ...

Thirty carcasses, ten each from three groups-short-fed concentrate rations for about 70 days, grass-fed on Flint Hill pasture without supplemental feeding until slaughter in mid-to-late October, and long-fed concentrate ...
